Composite fire doors in Droitwich, done to the evidence
If you need composite fire doors in Droitwich, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Droitwich range from schools to small offices and houses with integral garages. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For deck-access blocks in and around Droitwich, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Droitwich in configurations covered by the product's certification.
How we fit composite doorsets
Composite doorsets are installed strictly to the manufacturer's instructions, which typically set out fixing positions, packing, the sealing of the frame-to-wall gap and threshold details. We set the closer so that it closes and latches the door, test the locks and record everything for your files. Where a resident or freeholder chooses colours, we make sure the chosen option is within the certified range.
Each installation includes:
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
Rules and responsibilities in Droitwich
The rules that apply to fire doors in Droitwich are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Droitwich block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Do composite fire doors need a closer?
Yes, as flat entrance doors they need a self-closing device that closes and latches them. This can be overhead or concealed, depending on the certified options.
Can I add a letterbox to a composite fire door?
Only if the letterplate is part of the certified doorset. Cutting one in afterwards would compromise the door's fire performance.
